norwegian cheese

gudbrandsdalsost. norwegian brown goat's cheese. so so good. it's mild, tangy, sweet and buttery, and just melts in your mouth. it's like caramel.

the first time i had it was in 1997. i was in manhattan visiting my norwegian relatives and this was served after dinner. so yumm!

the last few months i've been working with cathrine, who is norwegian, and last weekend she went to the norwegian shop in rotterdam and bought me some lovely lovely norwegian cheese! how nice is that?

she also only recently found out about the norwegian shop, and i'm quite curious to see it. based on her description, it sounded like a norwegian log cabin (inside a former church), in the middle of rotterdam. intriguing... well, i'm in rotterdam tomorrow so if they are open, i'll have a look.

omg, that is my favorite treat (for myself)! ari's sister brought it along with her when she got back from student exchange program in Norway... it was my first time to have a taste, and i couldn't get enough of it!

iya, emang enak banget rasanya, lebih kaya caramel ato toffee yah, daripada keju... gue lagi eksperimen makan gudbrandsdalsost pake apple slices, hehe... dan ternyata pake apel enak, thal!
